Trim Size
The document size of the converted PDF will be based on what is called the “Trim” area as defined by the PDF.
This may be different than the dimensions displayed by a PDF viewer that uses the CropBox area.

Media Size
A PDF may also define a “Media” area which consists of a larger size which will contain various markings such registration targets and slugs. You can direct PDF2DTP to ignore these objects by turning off the “Include Pasteboard Items” in the Preferences.

Bleed
A PDF may also define a “Bleed” area which is slightly larger than the page size.

Bad PDFs
Sometimes a PDF can become corrupted and cannot be displayed in a PDF viewer. PDF2DTP has built-in routines that will attempt to salvage the document as much as possible.

Subpar Conversion Results
If a PDF does not convert very well, especially if the PDF was created many years ago, try opening it and re-saving it in a PDF editor, such as Acrobat, and retry the conversion. Most PDF editors have the ability to repair or improve the PDF, or perhaps allow you to save to a higher version.

Printers MarksIf you see Printers Marks such as fold and trim marks, try disabling the Include Pasteboard Items Preference. This will not convert any items outside the trim area.
